Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, overcoming a well-funded campaign by Rep. Haley Stevens to secure the nomination in one of the country's most closely watched races ahead of the November midterm elections.
The former Wayne County public health official will now face former Rep. Mike Rogers, who won the Republican nomination unopposed after receiving an early endorsement from President Donald Trump. The Michigan race is expected to be among the most competitive Senate contests this year and could play a key role in determining control of the chamber.
